Introduction: Virtual Reality (VR) via a mobile platform has the ability to heighten realism for CPR training. Whether training with VR compared with a standard mobile application (mApp) would improve CPR quality and response is unknown. Objectives: We sought to test whether a VR mApp would confer improved CPR skills compared with an existing CPR training on a standard mApp. Methods: Using a VR viewer combined with a smartphone for multisensory immersion, we created a VR CPR training mApp based on our established CPR mApp (Figure 1); both included Hands-only CPR instruction. Subjects were randomized to our intervention arm (VR mApp) or our control arm (mApp). Subjects in the VR mApp arm underwent CPR training and were able to interact with avatar bystanders, “perform” CPR via VR viewer click button, and acquire an AED. The standard mApp arm underwent our established CPR training, but did not have the VR immersion. We collected bystander response data (Call 911, Perform CPR, Ask for an AED), along with CPR quality during a 3-min post-intervention scenario. Results: Between 3/2018 and 5/2018, 38 subjects were enrolled: 19 VR mApp and 19 mApp. Mean age was 45±15 yrs, 34% were female, and 32% were currently CPR trained. In total, 70% called 911, 97% performed CPR, and 41% asked for an AED. Mean chest compression (CC) rate was 102±40 compressions per minute (cpm), depth was 40±13 mm. When comparing the VR mApp arm to the mApp arm, mean CC rate was 102±48 cpm vs 102±33 cpm, and mean CC depth was 40±13 mm vs 40±13 mm, respectively. The percentage of bystander response was higher in the VR mApp arm compared with the standard mApp arm: calling 911 (88% vs 52%), asking for an AED (55% vs 26%) (Figure 2). Conclusion: In our study comparing a VR mApp versus a standard mApp for CPR training, CPR quality did not differ but a trend toward increased bystander response was found in the VR mApp arm. Further studies will need to be powered to detect difference using immersive VR trainings and their effect on bystander response.

Introduction: Hands-only CPR training via a video self-instruction (VSI) kit (DVD & manikin) or a mobile application (app, video-only) allows trainees to share the training materials with others (“secondary training”). This secondary training can amplify the number of individuals trained in CPR, thus increasing the chances of bystander intervention in an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Health apps are an emerging tool through which public health information and education can be disseminated. No study has examined whether laypersons trained in CPR via an app share the training as frequently as those trained via VSI. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that laypersons trained via mobile app will share the training material more than those trained with VSI. Methods: This work represents a sub-investigation of an in-hospital CPR training study for families of cardiac patients. Subjects were trained with either a VSI kit or a mobile app and completed an interview 6-month post-training that measured whether training materials were shared and with how many others they were shared. Multivariate logistic regression was performed controlling for age, race and level of education to determine the likelihood that an individual shared the training. Results: Of 697 participants who completed the interview between 6/2016-5/2018, 281 stated they shared the training with at least 1 person (VSI n=213/356, App n=68/341). Subjects who received VSI training were more likely to share than those trained with the app (OR: 7.16, 95% CI: 4.91-10.43, p<0.01). Subjects trained with VSI had an average multiplier rate of 2.27 ±4.13 versus 0.56 ±1.66 (p<0.01) for those trained with the app. Subject-level analysis revealed that increased age is associated with decreased likelihood that an individual shared the training in both training arms (App OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96-0.99, VSI OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99). Conclusion: Subjects in the app arm were less likely to share CPR training. While it has been widely assumed that app-based solutions may afford unique dissemination opportunities, these results suggest the most effective solution to increasing hands-only CPR training may lie in kit-based options currently available. Further work is needed to determine why app-based training is shared less.

Deaths due to heart diseases are a leading cause of death in Mexico. Cardiovascular diseases are considered a public health problem because they produce cardiorespiratory arrests. During an arrest, cardiac and/or respiratory activity stops. A cardiorespiratory arrest is rapidly fatal without a quick and efficient intervention. As a response to this problem, the VirtualCPR system was designed in the present work. VirtualCPR is a mobile virtual reality application to support learning and practicing of basic techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for experts or non-experts in CPR. VirtualCPR implements an interactive virtual scenario with the user, which is visible by means of employment of virtual reality lenses. User’s interactions, with our proposal, are by a portable force sensor for integration with training mannequins, whose development is based on an application for the Android platform. Furthermore, this proposal integrates medical knowledge in first aid, related to the basic CPR for adults using only the hands, as well as technological knowledge, related to development of simulations on a mobile virtual reality platform by three main processes: (i) force measurement and conversion, (ii) data transmission and (iii) simulation of a virtual scenario. An experiment by means of a multifactorial analysis of variance was designed considering four factors for a CPR session: (i) previous training in CPR, (ii) frequency of compressions, (iii) presence of auditory suggestions and (iv) presence of color indicator. Our findings point out that the more previous training in CPR a user of the VirtualCPR system has, the greater the percentage of correct compressions obtained from a virtual CPR session. Setting the rate to 100 or 150 compressions per minute, turning on or off the auditory suggestions and turning the color indicator on or off during the session have no significant effect on the results obtained by the user.

Background:Mobile health applications are frequently used to increase exercise adherence in patients with musculoskeletal problems. However, the usability of these health mobile applications mostly has not been proven. In our previous study, the usability of the mobile app, which includes postural correction and neck spinal stabilization exercises, has been proven. (M.U-NeckExercise application)Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile application-based home exercise program for patients with chronic neck pain.Methods:60 people with chronic neck pain were participated in the our study. They were randomized into two groups. The first group (n:30) received home exercises via the novel mobile app, and the second group (n:30) received the same home exercises via the brochure. The exercise program consisted of neck and thoracic postural correction and neck spinal stabilization exercises. Participants has been requested to do the exercises 3 days in a week for 6 weeks. Participants’ pain levels were assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), their neck-related functional limitations were evaluated by Neck Pain and Disability Index (BADI). Exercise adherence was meausered with a ratio of total participated sessions compared with the target defined by patient activation monitor and exercise adherance questionnaire. Targeted participation were %60 of total sessions.Results:In both groups, the improvement in VAS and BADI scores was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was found that the pain parameters of VAS score decreased statistically more in the mobile application-based exercise group (p<0.05). While there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the BADI score, the effect size results was higher in the mobile app group (effect size= 0.411). Our exercise commitment target in the mobile app group was an average of 10.5 sessions. The target session number has been reached 11.25 sessions.Conclusion:It has been observed that the mobile application-based exercise program is effective in reducing pain and increasing exercise adherence in people with chronic neck pain. The findings support M.U-NeckExercise-App could be recommended to health professionals for exercise prescription in patients with cronic neck pain.References:[1]Tonga E, Can M, Polat MG (2019). ”SAT0730-HPR development and design of smartphone application for postural alignment of cervical and thoracic spine for young adults.” Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 78,2.[2]Voth, E.

Abstract Technological advancements have transformed healthcare. System delays in transferring patients with ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) center are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Our aim was to design and develop a secure mobile application, STEMIcathAID, streamlining communication and coordination between the STEMI care teams to reduce ischemia time and improve patient outcomes. The app was designed for transfer of patients with STEMI to a cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) from an emergency department (ED) of either a PCI capable or a non-PCI capable hospital. When a suspected STEMI arrives to a non-PCI hospital ED, the ED physician uploads the EKG and relevant patient information. An instant notification is simultaneously sent to the on-call CCL attending and transfer center. The attending reviews the information, makes a video call and decides to either accept or reject the transfer. If accepted, on-call CCL team members receive an immediate push notification and begin communicating with the ED team via a HIPPA compliant chat. The app provides live GPS tracking of the ambulance and frequent clinical status updates of the patient. In addition, it allows for screening of STEMI patients in cardiogenic shock. Prior to discharge important data elements have to be entered to close the case. In conclusion, we developed a novel mobile app to optimize care for STEMI patients and facilitate electronic extraction of relevant performance metrics to improve allocation of resources and reduction of costs.

Background: Low-income and Latino neighborhoods are at high risk for having low provision of bystander CPR for victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Novel community-based intervention is needed in these neighborhoods to increase awareness of CPR techniques and, ultimately, to decrease mortality from OHCA. Objective: To determine the feasibility of a train-the-trainer hands-only CPR program as a required assignment in a middle school. Methods: Design: Prospective survey-based interventional study. Setting: Public charter school in the Denver, CO metropolitan area. Population: Cohort of 118 subjects was recruited out of 134 eligible seventh grade students. Observations: Participants completed a 6-question test to assess baseline knowledge of CPR. Subjects then completed a group hands-only CPR training lasting 1 hour using the CPR Anytime kit, which included both an educational DVD and hands-on practical skills training with an inflatable mannequin. Participants were then asked to use these kits to train other community members over a 2-week period. At the end of the study, students were asked to complete the same 6-question survey to assess their retention of knowledge. Two-sample t-tests were conducted to assess for differences in hands-only CPR knowledge pre- and post-CPR training. Results: Demographics are given for the entire seventh grade class ( Table 1 ). Students were mostly white (71.6%), and 11 (8.2%) participated in the Free & Reduced Lunch program. Of 134 seventh graders attending the school, 118 (88%) completed a pre-intervention survey and 74 (55%) completed a post-intervention survey. Between the surveys, the mean number of questions answered correctly increased ( Table 2 ), as did performance on the question asking where to place AED pads on the chest (p < .001). Students performed poorest in both pre- and post-testing on identifying the appropriate situation for performing hands-only CPR. Conclusion: Implementation of a school-based train-the-trainee CPR education program is a feasible endeavor. Students demonstrated increased knowledge of CPR techniques two weeks after training compared to baseline. Future studies will need to be conducted to assess the people who are then trained by these students using the CPR Anytime Kits.

BackgroundCurrent efforts to reduce door to groin puncture time (DGPT) aim to optimize clinical outcomes in stroke patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs). The RapidAI mobile application (Rapid Mobile App) provides quick access to perfusion and vessel imaging in patients with LVOs. We hypothesize that utilization of RapidAI mobile application can significantly reduce treatment times in stroke care by accelerating the process of mobilizing stroke clinicians and interventionalists.MethodsWe analyzed patients presenting with LVOs between June 2019 and October 2020. Thirty-one patients were treated between June 2019 and March 2020 (pre-app group). Thirty-three patients presented between March 2020 and October 2020 (post-app group). Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to examine variables that are not normally distributed. In a secondary analysis we analyzed interhospital time metrics between primary stroke centers and our comprehensive stroke center.ResultsBaseline demographic and vascular risk factors were similar in both groups. Use of Rapid Mobile App resulted in 33 min reduction in DGPT (P=0.02), 35 min reduction in door to first pass time (P=0.02), and 37 min reduction in door to recanalization time (P=0.02) in univariate analyses when compared with patients treated pre-app. In a multiple linear regression model, utilization of Rapid Mobile App significantly predicted shorter DGPT (P=0.002). In an adjusted model, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 24 hours after procedure and at discharge were significantly lower in the post-app group (P=0.03). Time of transfer between primary and comprehensive stroke center was comparable in both groups (P=0.26).ConclusionIn patients with LVOs, the implementation of the RapidAI mobile application was independently associated with reductions in intrahospital treatment times.

Social media application (SMA) shows several important functions that causing theincrement of usage among mobile application or mobile app users, especially among18 to 28 years-old users. This causing several developers to create their own SMA thathave been targeted to mobile app users. However, only several SMA managed tobecome popular and successful in term of usage, leaving other unpopular SMA in thelower rank of the Google PlayStore. SMA created by developer in Malaysia face thesame situation as mentioned before where those SMA were supposed to attractMalaysian mobile users more. To assess this situation, this study aims to identify thesuccess factors of SMA usage and develop a set of metric based on the success factorsusing research model that have been developed in the past. Information SystemSuccess Model (ISSM) were studied and chosen as the reference model for this studybecause the model is suitable and have been used by other researchers in studiesregarding social media and SMA. ISSM contains several success factors like systemquality, service quality and information quality that affect the user satisfaction and useof a system, where this model were modified in this study with the addition ofnetworking quality and perceive privacy factors. This study were conducted on 380Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) students and after analysing the data collected, allproposed success factors except of service quality were found to have a positive impacttowards user satisfaction and usage. The success factors were included in the metricdesign and the metric were presented in an evaluation form for SMA developer inMalaysia to evaluate and applied the metric in their SMA.
